About This Chapter

The BT management involves locking or unlocking a BT, resetting a BT, performing the RC
self-test, view the status of the channels on a specified BT, and enabling a specified RC to
transmit signals at a predefined power level.
6.1 Changing the BT Management State
This function is performed to lock or unlock a BT.
6.2 Re-Initializing a BT
This function is performed to reset a BT and to reload the configuration data of the BT.
6.3 Performing BT Tests
The BT tests involve the BIU loopback test and the TRX self-test. The BIU loopback test is
performed to check the connection between the BT of the specified TRX and the physical links
of the Abis signaling channel. The TRX self-test is performed to check RCs and report the test
result.
6.4 Viewing the Channel Status
This function is performed to query the status of all the channels on a BT.
6.5 Setting the TRX Full Power Emission
This function is performed to enable a specified TRX to perform the full power emission and to
test the transmit power level of signals. Based on this level, the software and hardware parameters
can be adjusted accordingly during network planning. Therefore, the coverage of the BTS can
be optimized.

This function is performed to lock or unlock a BT.
Prerequisite
You have logged in to the BTS through the Site Maintenance Terminal.
Context
CAUTION
When you set the BT management state to Locked, all the channels of the baseband are in the
Out of Service state. That is, the baseband cannot provide any service. Therefore, you should
perform this function with care.
Procedure
Step 1 In the left pane of the Site Maintenance Terminal System window, click BT. In the right pane
of the window, double-click Change BT Management State.
The Change BT Management State dialog box is displayed, as shown in Figure 6-1.
Figure 6-1 Change BT Management State dialog box
Step 2 Choose a BT and a management state.

The BT management state is changed successfully. The result is displayed in the Operational
result pane, as shown in Figure 6-1.
NOTE
You can click the Operational result pane to have it enlarged. The detailed information can be displayed
in the pane. You can click in the enlarged pane to have the pane return to the original state.

6.2 Re-Initializing a BT
This function is performed to reset a BT and to reload the configuration data of the BT.
Prerequisite
Context
CAUTION
Re-initializing BT is actually the hard reset of the BT. All the services of the BT are interrupted
during the hard reset. Therefore, you should perform this function carefully.
Procedure
of the window, double-click BT Reinitialization.
The BT Reinitialization dialog box is displayed, as shown in Figure 6-2.

Step 2 Set the test option and the test time, as shown in Figure 6-3.
NOTE
The test time is dependent on the test option. Generally, a long-duration test produces a stable test result.
Step 3 Click Start.

After the test is complete, a bit error ratio report is received. The result is displayed on the status
bar in the BT Loop Test dialog box.
NOTE
During the test, you can click Stop to end the test. In this case, the Stopping test successfully. message is
displayed on the status bar at the bottom of the BT Loop Test dialog box.

6.5 Setting the TRX Full Power Emission

This function is performed to enable a specified TRX to perform the full power emission and to
test the transmit power level of signals. Based on this level, the software and hardware parameters
can be adjusted accordingly during network planning. Therefore, the coverage of the BTS can
be optimized.
Prerequisite
l
The power test devices are prepared.
Context
The static power level ranges from 0-10 dBm in steps of 2 dBm.

Procedure
Step 1 In the left pane of the Site Maintenance Terminal System window, click Site. In the right pane
of the window, double-click TRX Full Power Emission.
The TRX Full Power Emission dialog box is displayed, as shown in Figure 6-5.
Figure 6-5 TRX Full Power Emission dialog box
Step 2 Select a static power level and a BT, and set the test duration, as shown in Figure 6-5.
NOTE
The parameter Set Static Power Level specifies the power level of the TRX during the test. Current Static
Power Level is the current power level of the TRX before a test.
Generally, the longer the duration of the test, the more stable the test result.
Step 3 Click Start Test.

After the test is complete, the result is displayed on the status bar of the TRX Full Power
Emission dialog box.
NOTE
You can click Stop to end the test in progress. In addition, on the status bar of the TRX Full Power
Emission dialog box, the Get Static Power Level Successfully. message is displayed.
